Aren't they cute? My son called bulldozers, "bull-overs" and my daughter was trying to tell us that she was a grown up, called herself a "grown-duck." Needless to say, we still use those little "pearls" in the family. :)

That's a great idea!!! They are in my head but when I'm gone the kids won't know them!
Thanks hon!! :D

Instead of "leave me alone" my youngest son would save "leave me aclone". He stills gets teased about that one.

I have a book of the stuff my son would say when he was little because I didn't want to forget them. He would say gomasses (molasses), nemons and nunch (lemons and lunch), commacated (complicated) and all fisked upt (all fixed up). This is a great post!

My brother, who is 9 years younger than I am, used to call leotards "legaturds" - I always remembered that one.

These little kids are so great. Our 4 year old granddaughter has a beanie baby that she insists is a baby coyote. Makes us laugh every time she brings "Baby Cy" out to play.

Oh! I haven't thought of this in a long time. When my daughter was about 2 yro, we were playing together and she passed gas. I looked at her and asked, "where are your manners". She took me completely by surprise and responded, "I ate 'em". I couldn't hold back, I burst out laughing. Somehow she had bananas in mind.

My middle daughter had an even crazier word for "oatmeal". She always called it "op-ee-moy-lee-owe", and no amount of coaching could change her mind. We always wondered why she could take a simple word and make it so complicated.

A friends son used to call a refrigerator a fritterfrater, and he called fish- phish. Sometimes we use those words today just for a laugh.

la la for pillow, kee kee for blanket, lalow for yellow, wips for lips, wuv for love, so many more, I can't think of them right now as that was 30 years ago and more. My grandkids are not talking yet but I am sure they will come up with some duzzies.
